Pearson Sound is the producer David Kennedy, based in the United Kingdom. He also works under the name Ramadanman.

Style and sound

His music is rooted in dubstep, electronic music, breakbeat, club music, IDM and techno. It is described as percussively textured, with thick bass frequencies and synth washes, and it draws on influences including old house and Chicago juke.

Career

Kennedy is a key figure in dancefloor-focused production and also works as a label owner. He co-runs Hessle Audio with Pangaea and Ben UFO, and through that label he releases music by producers including Joe, Elgato and James Blake. Hessle Audio also holds a residency at the London club fabric.

He starts his own vinyl-only night, Acetate, in Leeds. His productions circulate widely through club sets, radio and sound systems, and he is associated with constant experimentation rather than a fixed style.
